Apparently based on a true story, with considerable artistic licenses taken, I'm sure.
Two college professors were talking in a restaurant. One was saying that more and more people knew calculus, regardless of their occupation. The other disagreed. When the second professor left to use the restroom, the first says to a nearby waitress, "I have a favor to ask. When I ask you a question, no matter what, answer e^x, OK?" The waitress agreed, and when the second professor returned, the first said, "Here, I'll prove my point to you. I'll bet you that waitress knows calculus." While the other is watching, he says to her, "Can you tell me the integral of e^x dx?" "e^x," she replies. "You see?" he says, and while the other is looking impressed, the waitress leans over, looks at this professor, and adds, "Plus C."
(which is the full correct answer, by the way)

Very funny. Those Cs are so easy to forget though.
